Wayland Vs Xorg : Pick your side
Ummm. .. not always the case that the client is at fault. For example the layer shell protocols of Wayland allows you to create desktop components like popup menus etc. Now the tricky part is established desktop environments like GNOME uses the xdg_surface, hence GTK only has binding or focuses explicitly on that. This has given others who wants to implement a layer shell like this gtk-layer-shell library has to do some hacking as workaround. As you see currently only tested to work with gtk3 2.24 26.while many rolling releases are already shifting gtk3 2.24.30. Some window managers or rather say status bar like waybar ( the most popular status bar project ) uses this library. And this creates problem for those wants to use any status bar that depends on tk layer shell library and are on recent updates on gtk. Gtk only sees xdg_surface, is not in a mood to support other libraries.

Announcing Relm4 v0.1
This may be a stupid question but would it be possible to use relm to make a panel or notification widgets for non gnome wayland desktop? I know this can be achieved through GTK layer shell however they do not support GTK4 because gnome want to support they layer shell protocol. Curios if you would gnome if this can be done another way directly with GTK4?

Getting a menu on right-click of the title-bar (but not on background!)
Here's how to do it - in this example, I'm using my sway-menu python script to generate the menu itself. I'm also moving the menu to be near the cursor:

Remotely starting graphical app inside Sway session, when the app needs to run as root, without relying on authentication from within the session
Maybe try my script sway-runner

Using nwg-wrapper for a HUD of help for sway modes
As a geriatric user of sway, I don't always remember the keystrokes in the more esoteric corners of my configuration. I find that my script sway-menu helps with the bulk of the uncommon key bindings. But when I drop into a 'mode' (eg "move" mode) I don't always remember all the clever things I programed into it.

Is it possible to have my Bluetooth controller disconnect automatically on idle?
I wrote a simple bash script bluetooth-timeout to power-off the linux bluetooth stack after 10m of activity. Maybe this would help you.

What do I need to install on the Sway spin?
Another source for ideas is to read through the configs and scripts written by others. I offer my own here - there are many others around.

Digital overlay clock?
Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

Sway productivity tips
Imma gonna browse through your stuff to see if there's a scratch to a hitherto unnoticed itch that I can snarf. You might like to do the same with my dotfiles - particularly bin/sway-\, *.config/sway** and .config/waybar.

Anyone know how to move container to the next *empty* workspace?
You might be able to modify my sway-next-empty-workspace script for that. Maybe see if changing swaymsg to i3-msg does the job.
